"Old Knives"

[waynorth]

Charlie, are those Scouts considered strawberry bone? Goins says that Robeson started using strawberry bone after 1940. I am slightly colour deficient, so can't really tell on your knives.

Those scouts are not Strawberry bone, Dan! Strawberry is quite red, but I know little about it!! I know some looks very like Case XX Redbone!!

OK, thanks Charlie. Thought I could see a hint of pink. I can certainly tell the one recently posted by majorpain1 is reddish.

Wow, Mike, beautiful New York knives and display!!

Both Duncan and Jeff have a keen eye for knives! Duncan, it is a NYK Co. Also has coined liners, eased openings and nice pearl. Funny you should mention Sheffield. The guy I bought it from mistakenly sent me a pearl Stan Shaw that looked very similar. Jeff, as Duncan would say the stockman is a wee one.

Mike, Thank You!
Ok, so NYK Co. had knives like that! I was unaware- or maybe I had spied one and it didn't quite get through the natural born filter I have called the " Education Blockage Filtration System of the inability to retain more than 5% per conversation"

I think these Barlows are sawcut Strawberry bone!! Correct me if I am wrong, someone!! Unused Barlows!! I don't believe I've ever seen a Robeson Spey Barlow!!
The bottom one looks like it spent a long time in the sun, wired to a display!!

Strawberry bone stockman from the 1950s. I find it a little redder and a little less brownish than Case redbone.

Thanks, Charlie, it's about the same age as I am . . . but in better shape! Still tight and snappy.

It is pretty nice to look at!!! Hard to know what to say when our knives are more attractive than we are!!

That's why I look at them more than I look in a mirror!

Schrade Cut Co 3 3/4" electricians knife, I think the civilian version of the TL29 with a shield and no bail. Have not seen many of these, probably not a good seller with all the surplus TL29's around.

Nice one Augie, looks hardly used. Here is another, slightly different, Schrade Cut Co electrician's knife. To unlock the screwdriver blade you have to press down on the master blade.

Nice knife, Dan!! It sure looks like it was made for Schrade by Empire!!
This one is stamped "Empire Winsted"!!
Note the Empire shields!! Mine has a left hand pull!!
